Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-2
Severity: normal

When accessing an https server, wget does not appear to check the
Subject Alternative Name field of the server certificate and in cases
where wget is connecting to a name listed in that field, wget 
declines to connect to the server without the --no-check-certificate
option, which should not be necessary in this case.

A similar problem has been fixed in fetchmail, and Debian bug report
#201113 may contain useful information.
